Description

Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Black Squad
  • Steam AppID of the game: 550650

System Information

  • GPU: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
  • Driver/LLVM version: nvidia 430
  • Kernel version: 5.0.0-29-generic
  • Proton version: 4.11-6

I confirm:

  • that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

  • Process starts, game runs for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Dialog pops up with error stating it cannot connect to anti-cheat
  • Game closes on clicking dialog confirmation
  • Process hangs

Reproduction

  1. Launch the game
  2. Play any mode, even the tutorial
  3. Wait for dialog appearance

Likely one of the titles falling under the complex DRM's/Anti-cheat issue as mentioned in the Steam Announcement, hopefully not though.

Research direction

Start by reproducing Black Squad with Proton 4.11-6 using the listed system details, then observe the anti-cheat connection dialog after 3–5 minutes. The report provides no source file or test entry point; done would require identifying a compatibility cause or documenting a confirmed workaround or status.
